Piikkejä
Piikkejä is a Finnish term that translates to "spikes" or "prickles" in English. It commonly refers to sharp, pointed projections found on various objects or living organisms. In a botanical context, piikkejä can describe the thorns or spines on plants, such as roses or cacti, which serve as a defense mechanism against herbivores. These structures can vary in size, shape, and density depending on the species.
The term is also used in a more general sense to denote sharp protrusions on inanimate objects.
